Tue, 10 Jun 2014 15:45:49 +0000http://collegefootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=328261#comment-175251Miami has always been like this, nothing new. Recruits will come no matter how many people are in the seats.

Recruits won’t come when you have one of the worst DC’s in the Country, an OC that has the playbook the size of a napkin, and a HC who is now 1-22 v teams with .500+ record.

That’s great…yet Nebraska still sucks, so I guess you have that going for ya!

Tue, 10 Jun 2014 00:05:15 +0000http://collegefootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=328261#comment-175227Congrats to FSU. Nebraska has sold out last 333 home games dating back to 1962. This season is also sold out.

UF Student Body size is roughly 50K.
FSU is ~32K.
UM is ~16K

A good slice of U of Miami is MDs, Lawyers, and Oceanography. Watching football may not be high on their to-do list on any given Saturday.

I don’t fault ‘the U’ for having difficulties filling the stadium. Especially during down times…

Mon, 09 Jun 2014 21:55:50 +0000http://collegefootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=328261#comment-175216Sun Life seats 76k, not much, 4000, more than the old Orange Bowl, and is a hell of a lot nicer. Fact is Miami is not a football town, it’s population could care less about college football and they can’t sell out anything. Live with it.

Mon, 09 Jun 2014 21:26:46 +0000http://collegefootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=328261#comment-175214@hockeyissweet- There’s plenty more things to do in LA as well but USC draws 70k+ per game. Kind of blows your point out of the water, doesn’t it?!

Mon, 09 Jun 2014 18:59:59 +0000http://collegefootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=328261#comment-175201@ hockey, granted Miami has more to do than Tallahassee but the subject matter was attendance at home football games. Spin it any way you want, the players at FSU will play in a much more electric atmosphere for their home games than will the players at UM. Recruits certainly take note. Kudos to Miami for what they accomplished in the past but the fact of the matter is they have not even won a division crown since they joined the ACC. Meanwhile their in- state counterparts, FSU and Florida have won multiple National Championships. I guess all that fun stuff to do in Miami doesn’t equate to winning titles.

Mon, 09 Jun 2014 18:34:53 +0000http://collegefootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=328261#comment-175193Miami fans have always been fickle, if the ‘canes aren’t in the thick of a nationalship run, the fans don’t show up. Miami is also known as a team that travels extremely poorly, again unless they’re playing for a national championship.
